Sometimes I am sure I've done it all wrong....

 And then I realize I am doing something right! I love it when that happens.

 Being a mom is rough. You make choices for your kids, and those choices can change and shape your childs life. Its hard to know, in the heat of things if your making the choice that will mold your child the right way, or not. Half the time I am certain I am doing it wrong... Then a kid does a good deed, or makes an awesome choice that makes me so proud I could burst!

  Over the weekend, Destiny made a bad choice, but, she afterward did the right thing by calling home and getting a ride back to the house. She knew she would probably get into trouble but she called anyway. This made me mad, that she had made the wrong choice in the first place, but then at the same time I felt like I did something right for her to know, no matter what she could call home.

 A couple nights ago she made me a book. She told me she loves me even when she's mad, and even wrote me a poem, and put a picture of her and I in this book. This book was the best book I have ever read. It really meant a lot that she would put her feelings onto paper like that for me to see. It made me feel like even with the second guesses I have, I am leading her down a path that is a good one. That is great to know when your a mom!

 Have I mentioned though, that I cannot wait for school to be back in session? Its Tuesday and they go back Monday... 6 more days. I might just make a countdown board like we did for Christmas!

Rapture

 I never knew, until I think Wednesday this week, that Saturday was the "end of the world" or the rapture or whatever people are saying its supposed to be. I think its funny that someone has said the world was going to end, and now the day before people are just taking notice. I mean last week, no one mentioned a thing. This week the whole place is going crazy. Either with people freaking out, or people making fun of the whole idea. Oh well, no point freaking out about it if you ask me. If its happening its happening. I highly doubt I am one of the ones who would be chosen to be pulled up at this point. I believe in God, and I do think I will go to heaven but I do not think I live my life closely enough to what God would want, to be taken up before the 7 year wrath and all that. I guess that is a horrible thing to admit, but I really think that very few people would be taken at this point.  So the end of the world upon us, I made some good money at work tonight. I was also ...

Its not always 50/50

 Sometimes one person has to hold up more weight than the other does. Lately I feel as though I am that person holding the extra weight. Lately I have been wishing I was not that person. I feel like I am being spread a bit too thin... I also feel like no matter how many times I try to explain myself, it does not matter.  So I will just keep waiting, and hopefully eventually someone will come and take a few books off of my stack. Take a load off. Help me out. Chip in. You get it? I am sure you do. Now if only other people did as well.  God doesnt give you more than you can handle. I wonder sometimes if He thinks the load he's giving me is being more evenly distributed than it is... Maybe he can review my case :)

The Lady In Red

  T he Frisco festival was this weekend. Fun times. Free rides, well this year half the rides were free. A band playing live and just fun all around. We always go of course, any time anything is free, were there!  Since we are not cool Destiny went with some friends and not us. Bailey was staying the night with a buddy so the 2 girls that were home, I told could bring a friend... Fun times.  At one point they were waiting in line for a slide/funhouse ride, after a certain point of waiting in line they were finally up to the part with the sign: At the bottom the sign says "If you are in the red sorry you cannot ride the ride"  Hannah is standing there, and she is looking quite concerned after a while... She looks at me and she says "mama, Lauren cannot ride this ride." then she points to the sign.  Oh yes, Lauren is VERY MUCH so over the green line... Heck Lauren is taller than Hannah so I am thinking what is your deal girl??!  Hannah then looks ...
